Neurologic disorder. Cerebral palsy is due to a brain injury sustained before age two. The brain injury is stable, but the manifestations of the injury can change. Once you have been diagnosed with cp, you always have it. The treatments for CP are based around the manifestations. Some children need treatment for seizures or orthopaedic issues (among others) while other children need little additional help.

Depends. Depends a lot on the kind of CP he has. Functional level will dictate orthopedic treatment, and many of the physiatry treatments (braces, wheelchairs etc). In a non- ambulatory patient, a good wheelchair is of utmost importance because they spend most of their time there. Ambulatory assistance may be more important in some less involved children. Surgery or gaitaids may help.

Question too vague. Cerebral palsy can be so mild it is unrecognized or so involved the patient cannot function. To get the most from this site you need to provide basic background info about a problem and ask a specific question. If you will start over and focus on specific issues in the patient, we can likely help.There are books dedicated to this issue. Without more data, a specific recommendation is impossible.

Dose change. Anti-seizure meds are typically started at the lowest therapeutic dose and slowly increased if the patient continues to have breakthrough seizures. If your child continues to have seizures, you should call the prescribing doctor to ask what they want to dose to change to.
